Heavy dark blues riff
Neil Young's signature raw guitar and strained vocals
Features Rick Danko(bass) and Levon Helm (drums) from The Band , adding to Its weighty ,ominous feel ,

Message and Interpretation ,
' Revolution Blues serves as Neil Young's commentary on how the idealism of the 1960s decayed into the violence and disillusionment of the 1970s .
the word 'revolution' is stripped of Its hopeful meaning and instead becomes associated with destruction , cult thinking , and paranoia ,
